Any advice will be appreciated.

Hello
I'd recommend getting a true soundcard with real hardware acceleration.
- Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium
or
- Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer
should get you started.
Since you want audio for gaming and not for music I'd recommend getting a speaker system that outputs some bass.
Logitech Z-5500 (5.1) (4 satellites + 1 center, 1 subwoofer)
Logitech Z-906 (5.1)
Edifier S530 Gaming (2.1) (2 satellites, 1 subwoofer)
Edifier S550 (5.1)
Edifier S730D (2.1)
The edifiers offer the cleaner sound and are very much capable of playing music brilliantly.
With that you'll get a great audio system for a fair price. Beyond that is perfectionism and especially with an edifier system you'll hardly notice the difference.
With 5.1 systems the placement is MUCH more important. Don't think you can just buy a 5.1 system and place the speakers anywhere. The setting up process is tiresome but often worth it. 2.1 is easier. If you prefer surround headphones for "precise operations" you could buy a 2.1 system and a great headset.

The video is just awesome. Thanks for the find.
I hope we'll still see some sound improvements such as:
- Planes nearby shouldn't be audible
- A massive difference between canope open and closed
- Better wind sounds related to plane speed and airflow
